Dan Reynolds Gave a Tearful Tribute to Chris Cornell at the 2017 BBMA'S

. . Shortly after a brilliant performance of Believer, complete with lots of confetti, Dan Reynolds returned to the stage. He struggled to speak and fought back tears as he made a tribute to Soundgarden lead singer Chris Cornell. Cornell died on Thursday from suicide.

unfortunately, the Chris Cornell tribute angered a lot of people, but that was in no way Dan's fault, people disliked how the BBMAs handled it. I personally think that Dan did as well a job he could've, given the time constraint. In the video, you can hear someone cheering before Dan ends the silence, he really couldn't have done anything else. So I think he took a not-well-handled slot of time and made the best of it. shoutout for that
